The Secret of How Ryan Carson Increased Treehouse’s Average Account Size 67x
As miraculous as it sounds, the way Ryan Carson managed to increase the average revenue value on accounts at Treehouse is pretty simple.
All he had to do was ask and answer two very straight forward questions…
- What problem do we actually solve?
- What’s the value of solving this problem?
But as you could have guested, simple doesn’t always mean easy. Ryan will be the first to admit that while all you really need is the passion and energy to answer these questions, it can take a bit of time and experimentation.
What problem do we actually solve?
Seems like a no-brainer, but there are plenty of companies and salespeople wondering the world trying to jam their square peg of an offer into round holes.
There just isn’t a fit. There never will be.
In terms of B2B sales, even if you can somehow get the emotional buy-in of a champion within the buying organization, when it comes time to logically justify the purchase with a business case your deal is dead.
Being crystal clear on the problem you or your business solves is so important. Without this clarity you and your sales team are destine to spend a great deal of time courting prospects who will never buy.
What’s worse is that a lack of clarity on what you do and who you do it for means the people you can help will go under served, having to share you and your time with non-buyers.
As a result, you won’t be able to sell your most qualified buyers as much as they’d happily buy from you.
What’s the value of solving this problem?
A lot of folks think of pricing their offers in terms of how much it costs to produce it.
This is smart in the early days of your offer. You want to avoid going into the red when testing the viability of a new product or service if you can.
Staying at a break-even price point – or just above – after validating there is a market for your offer can mean you’re under valuing your product or service.
That was the case Ryan Carson of Treehouse.
The talent war is a very real thing for tech businesses. Losing this war can mean not innovating fast enough, and going out of business.
For this reason tech companies go to great lengths and spend a lot of money to bring talent in from other countries.
So even with a healthy margin Ryan’s client companies are grateful for the money he is able to save them by developing local talent to fill the tech roles they need staffed.
